Following the premiere Cobain tweeted about the media’s coverage of her appearance on the night. She claimed that newspapers and websites were speculating about her health based on photographs from the premiere.
Cobain tweeted: “Apparently I’m not well because I dressed like Morticia Addams last night and am pale? Okay media spin cycle, okay. #slownewsday”

Cobain was backed by Williams and Way, with the Paramore singer responding: “I get psyched every time ppl don’t understand how I dress. It’s like they’re congratulating you for being your own! Go you” and later: “job (WELL) done”.

Frances Bean Cobain told an audience at the premiere: “I didn’t know Kurt but I think he would have been very proud of this film.” She continued: “It touches on some dark subjects, but at the end of the day, I think this film provides fans of Nirvana or not fans of Nirvana a basic understanding of who Kurt was as a human being.”

She added: “I think that’s been lost within the romanticism of him and the myth of him and his story.”

Cobain had previously commented on the legacy of her father ahead of the film’s release. Speaking to Rolling Stone, she described her father’s influence and status in popular culture as being “inescapable” and said that he’s been placed “on a pedestal”.
